I had this Husky 61 apart last night for a general tune up and clean. Belongs to a buddy, and had probably never been blown out before judging by the saw cake. Had to do dress the bar, and sharpen the chain. Really nice saw, lower hours good condition overall.

Just finished putting together another Super EZ from the box of parts I was given, that's a total of 5 so far but I'm running low on parts. This one is together but not running very well, starts and runs good for a few seconds then it starts running real rich and then it dies. I've tried adjusting the carb until both needles were completely closed and still ran rich. Looks like a carb rebuild might be in order. Think I'll start with a pressure test on the carb..

If you find yourself running low on parts, I have a Super EZ auto that I took apart to part out. Since I only paid $5 for the saw, the parts are free. Just pay for shipping ($5-$10 with USPS).

LOL I've got 3 homelite 330, I love them. I haven't updated all my pix on my gallery where I currently only show one 330.:rock:

Not that much wrong with the 330s, I just found it difficult to take them apart and put them back together but since I've done several it's not as bad. I'm still a little gun shy about working on the Mini Mac though.
 
I'm about to finish up the Super EZ I started on a couple of days ago, put three carburetors on it before I could find one that would work. I still may have to pull this one off since it's been in a parts box for years and hasn't been cleaned or kitted. The saw does rev up and run pretty good but I haven't found the "sweet spot" for the carb adjustment yet..
 
Brother-in-law walked into my shop a couple of days ago with his MS180 and his MS310. MS180 was making a funny sound and rattling badly when cutting. Turns out his e-clip, washer, AND cage bearing were missing from his clutch drum. MS310 seemed to be down on compression. He had loaned it out to his wife's cousin....nuff said. So, I'm preparing to tear down the 310 to see if the cylinder is salvageable. Gotta take a look at the crank on the 180 to see if it is damaged. Then start ordering parts. My brother-in-law will give you the shirt off his back. Gotta love him! Great guy! But I cannot convince him that loaning out chainsaws is not a good idea! This will be one of those jobs where I supply the parts at cost with no labor charge! He will try to pay me for the labor plus more. I will refuse to take his money. And we will start throwing the wad of cash back and forth at each other. Yes, he and I are good friends indeed!!!
 
Bought a couple 020's half-together in a box for $20. Cool thing is there are a few bags of OEM parts that were presumably for the last guy's rebuild. Includes carb kits, gaskets and seals, impulse line, and all new A/V.

One is a super and the P&C look great. Should be no problem to make a runner, but somehow I'm having Mini-Mac flashbacks...

3 saws on the bench today.

Started off with a Poulan "Pro" 295. This is a 2005 model, purchased the day after Katrina, I think. Yeah, it's got a lot of plastic but this saw cut more and bigger stuff than expected, by far. Last time I used it a few years ago, I'm pretty sure I scorched the piston -- fuel line had a pinhole and saw ran lean. Put in a new piston, new muffler (with redneck "dual port" modification) gave it a good cleaning, etc. Hoping it has enough guts to pull that 20" bar after the muffler mod and some tuning. Still need to rebuild the carb and a few other things but should be ready for loaner duty soon.

Second saw is my 066. Just slapped a new 28 Rollomatic bar on it with new Stihl 3/8 chain. Need to do a bit of cleaning on this one. Have a roller chain catcher and original flat top cover on the way.

From there, I got back on my 038 Magnum that I had set aside weeks ago. Doing a complete rebuild on this one. No current pics, but here's what it looked like before I tore it apart.

Got given this Dolmar 111 last week , despite ultrasonic cleaning the carb and fitting a repair kit I still can't get it to answer smoothly to the throttle. Pulled the muffler and the piston is mint , passed a pressure and vac test too .
Looks like I'm gonna have to get a carb , fuel line is mint and filter has been renewed .
Driving me nuts !!
